Once complete, the $9.15 million redevelopment will feature a state-of-the-art, all abilities playground, parkour and sports courts, an events space, barbecue facilities and amenities, recreational trails and car parking.

Launceston mayor Albert van Zetten said the project would create a major new recreational hub for Launceston.

“The redevelopment will be a huge project for Launceston and once complete, will be one of the great attractions for children and families alike in our beautiful city,” he said.
